Taikoo Place Bamboo Innovation Community Center

The Taikoo Place Bamboo Innovation Community Center was funded by a two - million - yuan donation from Swire Properties. It serves as a public - welfare initiative aimed at facilitating post - earthquake reconstruction in Ya'an, Sichuan. Situated in Shuanghong Village, Guihua Town, Pengzhou City, Sichuan Province, the center has been operating officially since 2018, with the support of entities such as the Chengdu Women's Federation, the China Children and Teenagers' Foundation, and the Guihua Town Government. It caters to local left - behind children, promotes the sustainable development of green villages, and has evolved into a vibrant home for women and children as well as a key platform for presenting the image of new rural communities.

 

The main structure of the Bamboo Innovation Community Center is constructed using Bamboo Steel®. The engineered bamboo material of Bamboo Steel® aligns with the project's original design objective of "reducing the transportation radius of carbon emissions". Compared to wood, bamboo has a shorter growth cycle and sequesters carbon during its growth process. From multiple perspectives, the project adheres to the concept of "starting from daily life and focusing on industry development". It commences with the distinctive bamboo resources in Sichuan, applies environmentally - friendly modern bamboo structural materials, and integrates practical innovation with research and development efforts.

 

The main bamboo structure makes use of components fabricated through modular and prefabrication techniques. These components are pre - assembled in our company's factory and then transported to the construction site for final assembly. This approach, which was implemented seven years ago, already represents the early form of prefabricated construction. It not only conserves labor and materials while ensuring quality but also minimizes the negative impact on the natural environment caused by extensive on - site construction. The bamboo shed and functional units of the building are designed to be separate from each other in the layout, which enables concurrent construction and accelerates the project progress.

 

In terms of rural aesthetics, the building's roof features the traditional sloping roof and small green tile construction techniques characteristic of Western Sichuan folk houses. The overall design style is seamlessly integrated into the rural landscape while exuding a modern feel and local allure. The umbrella - shaped bamboo structure that supports the roof is gracefully designed, with a light and expansive appearance, and incorporates diagonal bracing elements for seismic resistance.
